Reminder – Health Forms Due 4/29

All Scouts will need the BSA health form completed by 4/29. Part C is required for any Scout attending summer camp and requires a physician signature. Parts A & B and a photocopy of the insurance card (front & back) are required for all Scouts who attend any campouts during the year. Please turn in completed forms to Richard Ralph. There is a new version of the health form this year, which can be found at the website listed below. For this transition year only, either the new form or the old version of the form will be accepted. Next year, only the new form will be accepted. The new form is more streamlined, so you may want to use the new form this year if you haven’t started yet.
